Early Development: API is evolving.

Example app built with Gooey — chat-zig, an Anthropic Claude client using the Zig 0.16 std.Io stack for async HTTP:

Features

GPU Rendering - Metal (macOS), Vulkan (Linux) with MSAA anti-aliasing (WebGPU/WASM is blocked upstream on Zig 0.16 — see WASM)

- Metal (macOS), Vulkan (Linux) with MSAA anti-aliasing (WebGPU/WASM is blocked upstream on Zig 0.16 — see WASM) Declarative UI - Component-based layout with ui.* primitives and flexbox-style system

- Component-based layout with primitives and flexbox-style system Cx/UI Separation - Cx for state, handlers, and focus; ui.* for layout primitives

- for state, handlers, and focus; for layout primitives Pure State Pattern - Testable state methods with automatic re-rendering
